ms hearts games on various computers

[c jeffries]

Every time have played hearts on my computer and on
various friend's computers, have found that the scores
are not kept accurately. Either mine and others scores
are augmented by some one else's score. IE: if i have no
score, and some one else has gained 9 points (or more) it
is added to my score, even though i had none. (i know
that is redundant). This happens on xp, ME, 98, etc.
Any reason for this? and what can i do to correct my ms
hearts game on my xp home series. Thanks to all.

That would seem to be caused because Hearts stores the scores
in the Registry under HKEY_Current_User instead of saving them
in each users Documents and Settings Profile. You have a great
suggestion to pass on to Microsoft, I urge you to do so.
